Steve Loynes To Replace Grant Currie As Porter Novelli UK Tech Head

LONDON—Porter Novelli has hired Steve Loynes to replace Grant Currie as the firm's head of technology in the UK.

The appointment marks the second successive occasion on which Loynes has filled Currie's shoes. One year ago, Loynes departed Chameleon Group to become H+K Strategies' UK tech head, a role that was previously occupied by Currie before his own departure for Porter Novelli earlier in the year.

Currie, who exited Porter Novelli last month, has since joined software company Workday as senior director of EMEA corporate communications, according to his LinkedIn profile. He did not respond to request for comment as this story went live.

"Charlie has proven herself to be an excellent client and new business practitioner and outstanding leader of people," said H+K UK CEO Richard Millar. "We have great faith in her ability to grow this business."
